Tour Operators Reviews

Explore Worldwide

Explore was founded in 1981 by three travelling companions who
had breathed, eaten and slept travel for as long as they could
remember. From the relatively tame overland to Kathmandu, to
venturing beyond dubious frontiers, from ferrying Land Rovers
across the Ubange on hand-built rafts, to close encounters with
unlikely creatures - they had a few stories to share. Whatever the
case, their blend of idealism, practicality, skills and culture
soon translated into a very simple and successful formula. They
called it Explore and the menu was short but inventive: across Iraq
overland, Lima to Rio, the Nile by felucca. Many miles down the
road, and now offering the most diverse recipes in over 100
countries, the ingredients remain exactly the same: travel in small
diverse groups of like-minded people; get further and closer with
no frills; do things the local way as much as possible, and respect
the local culture; invest in responsible tourism; be 100% organised
and professional but also adaptable and always offer good
value.
